ruelle: Maybe never. It is a hack.
Can somebody with a sane English write an online petition for autocad in:
http://www.petitiononline.com/create_petition.html
Or maybe create a webpage like with nvidia opendriver request:
http://www.opentheblob.com/nvidia/
That would be a start for someday having a real AutoCAD version in linux.
Some topics that the letter should cover are:
- Financially supporting the wine project for it supporting perfectly AutoCAD, or submit patches, and use winelib to distribute it, as Google does.
- Use Mono instead of .NET
- Use OpenGL instead of DX.
